Evernote - your notes in the cloud

I love that phrase 'in the cloud' and am quite pleased that I have managed to get it into a post. If you are like me and use several different computers to go about your every day life you will know it is a pain making sure your notes and snippets of data are synchronised. Well go take a look at Evernote. It is both a standalone application and web site giving you the freedom to access your notes easily. It has built in functionality for Firefox and Outlook allowing you to either select text from a site and dump it in to a note, or copy the whole web page or e-mail. It is free for basic use, although you can pay for an upgrade in service (the basic package gives you 40meg of space per month cycle). So installing on all your machines will make sure your data is kept up to date and give you easy access.

I apologise if this post sounds like an advert, I am in no way on the payroll of the Evernote company. I have only been using it for about a week and already I have managed to drop all my temp bookmarks in favour of notes that I can now read at my leisure wether connected to the net or not. Go take a look. Just so as not to be biased, there is a similar product called Springnote. I cannot say anything about this app, as I haven't look at it.
